Adventures in Nature: Alaska

Adventure is waiting for you in Alaska, where you can sea kayak along miles of stunning coastline, raft the untamed rivers, soar between the 5,000-foot walls of the Great Gorge in a flightseeing plane, salmon fish in clear running coastal streams and rivers—or enjoy the state's spectacular wildlife, from grizzly bears and bald eagles to humpback whales and harbor seals.
